Othello - What was Cassio's relationship with Othello before the beginning of the play?
They had a good relationship - Othello trusted Cassio and Cassio respected Othello
How does Iago get back in Othello's good graces?
Iago tells Cassio that he must persuade Othello to reinstate him. He says "the general's wife is now our general" and so the best way to persuade Othello is to get Desdemona to plead on Cassio's behalf. Since Iago has also told Othello that Desdemona and Cassio are having an affair, the harder Desdemona pleads, the worse it is going to look for both her and Cassio.
How does iago manipulate cassio after the lieutenant's humiliating dismissal?
He tells him that the best way for him to get his place back is to get Desdemona to plead with Othello, which would probably be good advice if Iago had not at the same time suggested to Othello that Desdemona was having an affair with Cassio. Because of Iago's suggestion, Desdemona's concern for Cassio looks like confirmation of her having an affair with him.
What advice does Desdemona ask of Iago HOW DOES HE RESPOND?
Desdemona is not at all successful although she tries really hard. Unfortunately Iago has set things up so that the harder she pleads the more Othello thinks she must be doing so because he is her lover, and the less likely he is to grant her request. It was a lost cause from the start.
What did Iago do well in the play Othello?
He is very good at conning people into doing what he wants them to do and thinking what he wants them to think. This is not just Othello, but also Roderigo, and Cassio, and Emilia, and anyone else he comes in contact with. He manipulates them, and they love him for it.
What is a summary of Othello?
Othello is a General that lives in Italy(Venice), but is a Moor. Traditionally that means he is black while everyone else is white. He is very respected and marries on of the leading families daughters. Iago is one of his most trusted lieutenants, but after great victories Othello decides to promote someone else. Iago then begins a scheme to get power. First he brings down his other rivals for power. Then he seeks revenge on Othello. To do so he starts scandals almost on a whim and makes everyone distrust one another. Including Othello and his wife. Side note: Othello has epilepsy and no one must know or they will think him weak or possesed. Iago forces Othello to smother his wife and all of his rivals to die, yet in the end He loses his own life in his web of lies. One of the most Ironic things about Othello is Iago the most wicked liar coins the term (I wear my heart upon my sleeve.) Meaning he does not decieve. Iago makes the top ten most evil fictional villains ever.
Why does Iago say he loves Desdemona?
This is one of those things that people debate about endlessly, like whether Hamlet was really crazy. Even Iago, who talks to us a lot during the play, does not seem to be sure why he hates them so much. It could be a lot of factors, such as: 1: Iago is a chauvinist and hates anyone not born in Venice (as neither Othello or Cassio is) 2: Iago believes that he is entitled to a higher place in the army because of his background and resents Othello and Cassio who have their positions based on merit. 3: Iago believes that Cassio was not promoted on merit and resents him as a mere paper-pusher and resents Othello for promoting him. 4: Iago believes that Othello has slept with Emilia. 5: Iago is secretly in love with Desdemona and resents the fact that she seems to like both Othello and Cassio better than him. 6: Iago is secretly in love with Othello, and resents the fact that he seems to love both Cassio and Desdemona better than him. 7: Iago secretly believes that nobody loves him, because he is unlovable, and hates anyone who seems to be loved by another.
